Why are you starting a new thread? What wrong with the thread you started
on 9/10?

"Hello ng,

I'm in a large plaster project right now and need plaster to come off my
tools more-readily. Ideas?

It seems to accrete on the bottom of trowels. I sand drywall knives down
physically, but I look at that as a method of last resort.

Thx for your comment.

Yes. Clean them right after use.

I just rinse mine under running water, and the plaster sloughs right off.

Of course, I do that while the plaster is still wet, instead of waiting until after it's cured.
